Basic Benefit Package This insurance-budgetary model of healthcare funding is regulated by the law on Basic Benefit Package (BBP). The most important changes in regulations were introduced in second half of 2009 – law on BBP. It means that this new law is not mature and there is still a lot of imperfection, divergence, ambiguity what requires constant improvement. 2017-03-24 WWW.WATCHHEALTHCARE.EU

What does a decision-maker want to know? Is this technology of proven efficacy (health benefit and its safety profile)? What is the strength of intervention in comparison to optional ones? (which is the most efficacious option and what are the differences) Which is the most cost-effective option and what are the differences? Is coverage of the intervention possible with respect to available resources? What changes should we expect if the technology gets a privileged market position?
The most important requirements of the EU Transparency Directive (89/105/EEC from December, 21st, 1988) Supervision of the court over decisions concerning reimbursement and pricing – i.e. a possibility to appeal from the DECISION Supervision of the court is possible only if appellations to the court are considered according to transparent criteria ensuring high reproducibility! “Each decision on exclusion of a certain category of medicinal products from the national health insurance system must embrase justification based on objective and verifiable criteria and must be published in an appropriate publication.” The course of decision and appellation – decisions within 90 days following submission of the application (in case of a large number of applications additional 60 days – the applicant must be informed) and within another 90 days following appellation

The DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL The Directive on the application of patients' rights in cross-border healthcare 2017-03-24 WWW.WATCHHEALTHCARE.EU
Council adopts its position on patient's rights in cross-border healthcare The key provisions As a general rule, patients will be allowed to receive healthcare in another member state and be reimbursed up to the level of reimbursement applicable for the same or similar treatment in their national health system if the patients are entitled to this treatment in their country of affiliation. 2017-03-24 WWW.WATCHHEALTHCARE.EU
The key provisions In case of overriding reasons of general interest (such as the risk of seriously undermining the financial balance of a social security system) a member state of affiliation may limit the application of the rules on reimbursement for cross-border healthcare; member states may manage the outgoing flows of patients also by asking a prior authorisation for certain healthcare (those which involve overnight hospital accommodation, require a highly specialised and cost-intensive medical infrastructure or which raise concerns with regard to the quality or safety of the care) or via the application of the "gate-keeping principle", for example by the attending physician. 2017-03-24 WWW.WATCHHEALTHCARE.EU

Quality of healthcare in Poland „On a national level, there are some countries where citizens are consistently negative about the available healthcare. They feel harm from hospital- or non-hospital care is likely, feel at risk of experiencing adverse events and rate the quality of their national healthcare poorly and worse than other Member States. These countries are Greece,Bulgaria, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland”.
